Introduction Describe the first car you bought. What were some of the first responsibilities you learned in caring for it?
A car needs maintenance to keep it running properly. As we remain in the light of God's love, spiritual maintainance takes place, and we mature in our faith.
Studying God's Word You are concerned about maturing Read 1 John 2:12-14 12
I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven because of his name. 13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil One. 14 I have written to you, little children, because you have known the Father. I have written to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the Evil One. 1.
